You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fasiqun (disobedient to Allah - and rebellious against Allah's Command).
तुम एक उत्तम समुदाय हो, जो लोगों के समक्ष लाया गया है। तुम नेकी का हुक्म देते हो और बुराई से रोकते हो और अल्लाह पर ईमान रखते हो। और यदि किताबवाले भी ईमान लाते तो उनके लिए यह अच्छा होता। उनमें ईमानवाले भी हैं, किन्तु उनमें अधिकतर लोग अवज्ञाकारी ही हैं
